  Given the lack of competition, hockey fans looking for a mobile fix have little choice but to skate up for this one, and the core gameplay makes it more than worth your time and money. Still, I'd love to see less second period slacking and more third period hustle from these boys in the future.

  Far and away, this is the most gratifying feature that the entire game has to offer. Plus, the relative small time commitment necessary to quickly burn through a game or two also has its perks. Aside from the aforementioned standout, NHL 2K is still a relative retread of previous outings in the series. However, given the limited competition in the genre and the title’s overall competence in most areas, this is a fairly straightforward recommendation.

  It’s unfortunate that we have to pick one or the other, but such is life in the world of mobile sports games until the glorious day when tablets and phones get close to consoles in terms of raw processing power. Until then, we compromise, and if you love the NHL and want a number of different ways to explore those feelings, NHL 2K is a pretty good one.

  It's very clear, unfortunately, that NHL 2K is a free offering, as you get what you pay for in this situation. If you were hoping for the next installment in a franchise that doesn't appear to be coming back to consoles in quite some time, you're going to be sadly disappointed.

  NHL 2K is, as I've said, a decent hockey game. I doubt it'll win over anyone who already owns or has played earlier games in the series, but it could be worth a look for newcomers. So long as they're prepared to deal with some camera and control issues. There is some entertainment to be had with this year's NHL 2K, but it has more than its fair share of problems.
